I have a bunch of emails and Postbox helps me keep everything organized. I love the tags/labels panel and the filters work like a charm.
The feature I miss the most is the missing taskbar badge for unread mails under Windows.
LOVED the flexibility and slick design and powerful features. It feels really modular and that it will accommodate my particular workflow.
Then, to make things worse, my employer blocked IMAP on its Outlook accounts, so I cannot use Postbox at all any longer for my work email account.
I'm an inbox zero kinda a person, and I can power through my entire inbox without every touching a mouse/trackpad. The integrations with google are great, and the customizability is superb.
One is that when I look at my sent emails, there are many missing. When I look at the files in gmail itself they're all there.
The best feature is the ability to assign topics and create smart folder which makes controling you emails a breeze. For someone who receives many emails a day this is a godsend.
For some reason, Postbox fails to see it. Is there anyone at Postbox, to whom I've paid for the app, to contact about this.
I love that Thunderbird is reliable. Having used Outlook for over a decade, I was a bit hesitant to switch, but am very glad I did.
Sometimes when there are a lot of emails coming in it gets stuck, and from time to time I need to delete some of the emails.
Thunderbird is a great management system for emails, it is easy to use, and represent a great alternative for any company looking to reduce in terms of licenses.
Also, we have had many users complain about slowness of the PC when using the program, especially during compacting of files or filters.
What I love the most about the Thunderbird app is its multi-account support. I can set up as many emails on it as I wish.
Lack of support: Thunderbird is maintained by a small community of developers, so users may not receive prompt support or updates.
It is awesomely easy to set up and makes yourself feel really at ease, with a simple UI and plugin enhancements that make it even better.
Apparently, Microsoft Teams doesn't send properly-formatted messages, so this is most often broken, but you can always work around it through manual data entry.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
